But sources close to Chris insist any similarities are purely coincidental, telling TMZ: 'It's a random woman.'

Oh, cause that makes it SO much better. "I beat up so many women, this represents them all" is what that says to me.

Dick.

It infuriates me how little backlash he got. Sure, people did a lot of "You suck" types of tweeting, but that he's still invited to perform and participate in things piss me off. The only serious consequence I saw was that his segment was kicked off of Sesame Street.

The fact that the music industry awards him, lets him perform, plays his music on the radio... enrages me. I've dealt with domestic abuse myself and I just wonder if those who are giving him this free pass haven't experienced it, and therefore don't understand how sickening it is to watch Chris Brown strut around like he owns the place?

It's not the first time people have turned a blind eye: John Lennon, Paul McCartney, Sean Connery, Nick Carter, and Nicholas Cage all beat their wives. Eminem made career out of beating his wife. Usually when celebs beat their wives, it's not a big deal and it should be, which is why many people are controversially wondering about the fuss surrounding Chris Brown. If I could have one wish on this topic, it'd be that the Chris Brown thing were less about Chris Brown and more about promoting awareness of domestic abuse.

I wish it could be about promoting awareness, too. Sadly, in our world of wanting to know every last dirty detail about our "celebrities" the reason they're in the news gets over shadowed by the pure drama and spectacle of the Hollywood media circus. And people like Chris Brown, who are in the headlines for breaking the law and/or just being generally terrible people, appear to simply enjoy the attention. They don't care how they get the attention, they're just happy to have it... Like a loud toddler, "LOOK AT ME! MOMMY! LOOK AT ME! MOMMY!"

Yes. We get it, Chris Brown. You're a big man. Oooooo, look at how much you don't care about what people think. With your nasty-ass (poorly done) neck tattoo. You're sooooooo hard and such a big mean thug. *sigh*

Whether they’re fun or super serious, the videos for Fortune are all mesmerising. How involved do you get in the developing the stories and visuals, and the production?

With the comedy videos like “Till I Die” – which I did with Wiz Khalifa and Big Sean – it was like, cool. Let’s have fun with it. Make a crazy video. Being able to direct by myself and have full creative focus and being able to know the cameras – that was the easiest part. The vision is the hard part. Whenever you’re sleeping, you have that dream or that nightmare and that’s your video. That’s how I kind of interpret it. Or whatever I see when I hear the music, whatever vision I see, I put it right onto paper and put it out on the video. Like the video for “Don’t Judge Me” – it was me going into a spaceship. Not to be arrogant when I say it, but I want to be the Steven Spielberg of music videos, to be innovative and young, not to put a bar on it just because of budgetary issues or certain capabilities.

Let's not waste the jet fuel... can't we just set him on fire? or drop him in a shark tank? or just lock him in a dark room and forget about him?

I feel like the last one would hurt him the most.

But if we're going to strap him to a rocket, can it be like the end of "Toy Story"? Except that there won't be a gallant cowboy to rescue him. He just shoots into the sky and explodes. Then we all cheer.

While I realize that this is one of the least controversial opinions one can express, I just want to add to the consensus that Chris Brown is a vile abomination and a sorry excuse for a human being. Honestly, I am all about forgiveness; I think it is conceivable that following something like the Rihanna incident a person can redeem himself, and change into a better person. But he has repeatedly shown himself to be a contemptible, narcissistic, rageful, impulsive, villainous enemy of women and gays, and the fact that he goes on existing sickens me. He is also not a very good musician, songwriter or performer, so I find it inconceivable that he has somehow managed to remain "relevant" as an artist.

Remember that time Chris Brown savagely beat up and nearly choked the life out of his then-girlfriend Rihanna before she managed to loosen his grip by "attempting to gouge his eyes"?

Well, someone in Sweden sure does. (photos at link)

Brown is due to perform in Stockholm on the 19th of November, and posters promoting the concerts have been popping up all over town. Except, unlike typical concert-promoting posters that doesn't show photos of the woman Chris Brown nearly killed with his bare hands, these do.

"In Stockholm people are showing their dislike that Chris Brown is coming to town by posting these posters," tweeted Sweden's official Twitter account (which is run by a different Swede every week).

The person or persons responsible for this guerrilla marketing have yet to come forward, but they are apparently part of a larger movement that's attempting to pressure the concert's organizers to call it off.

Meanwhile, Rihanna, who recently announced a duet with Brown called "Nobodies Business" and may or may not be suffering from Stockholm Syndrome, told Bravo's Andy Cohen her former flame/physical abuser was "pretty dope."
